Carl Salbach... 
dark miss CALIFORNIA 
KNIGHT Huge and tall — one of, if not the pinkest 
big iris grown. 
LODESTAR. Easily the best and bright¬ 
est of the small variegatas. A fine 
doer everywhere and not only bright, 
but very rich. Bright yellow standards, 
clear red-brown falls, highlighted by 
vivid golden edging. Very clear in 
color, and although a small iris it is 
one of the most outstanding of all iris 
— one that should be in every garden. 
Rhizomes always small. A. M., A. I. 
S., 1927. 24-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c 
we list only the very best varieties ob¬ 
tainable. We receive yearly reports from 
many iris experts, and buy those most 
highly recommended. These we grow in 
our garden until we have blooms for com¬ 
parison to our other iris. Only those 
that are distinct and come up to our 
standard are offered in our catalog. The 
others are discarded.

LIGHTHOUSE (Salbach 1936). A fine 
bold iris given its name because the 
whole center of the flower lights up as 
if there were an electric light bulb 
hidden among the style branches. 
Standards old rose (Ridgway) except 
for the gold that lights the whole bot¬ 
tom-central portion of. the standards. 
The "lighthouse” effect is increased by 
the gold of the beard and style 
branches. Falls slightly redder than 
the standards, being co^^pery-red (Eu¬ 
genia red by Ridgway). Flowers sim¬ 
ply huge. See color picture. 
Unquestionably hound for real popu¬ 
larity, due to its entrancing contrast 
of colors. Decidedly distinct, very 
showy, and the color combination is 
exquisite. Large, well branched, and 
with standards well domed. Falls flar¬ 
ing and substance heavy. Ranks with 
Radiant, Brunhilde, and Golden Majes¬ 
ty as one of the finest Carl Salbach 
iris creations. Described by one of 
the A. I. S. judges as “A real stand¬ 
out — as beacon-like in the garden as 
its name would indicate.” Of unques¬ 
tioned hardiness, being bred from 
Helios X Rameses, and having grown 
well everywhere. H. M., A. I. S., 1937. 
Late blooming. 36-inch. $5.00 
LOS ANGELES (Mohr-Mitchell). This 
giant plicata, introduced with the 
Dykes Medal winner, San Francisco, 
alternates in favor with the latter -— 
one person preferring Los Angeles, the 
next San Francisco. Los Angeles has 
more white and less of the blue plicata 
markings than San Francisco, and is 
a good doer everywhere. 
Great white flowers of fine shape and 
substance, the standards faintly edged 
blue with the blue style arms adding 
a note of clear blue in the center. Tall 
and widely branched. Most outstand¬ 
ing. Early. 40-inch. 25c; 3 for 60c 
LYCAENA. White standards with rich 
purple falls with paler margin. Re¬ 
freshingly attractive for a small iris. 
Mid-season. 27-inch. 20c; 3 for 40c 
MABEL TAFT. Bi-color blue. One of 
the largest of all iris. Very bold form, 
and a truly showy iris. Mid-season. 
48-inch. 35c; 3 for 75c
